Body exhumed for investigation
To find the truth, the police arranged for the body to be exhumed. The process of digging up the body was carried out in the presence of the Tumakuru Tehsildar and other officials. A post-mortem examination was then conducted on the spot to determine the exact cause of death.

Arrest and further investigation
Following the confession and evidence from the post-mortem report, the Hebbur police arrested Asha and her lover. Both accused have now been sent to judicial custody.
